Mental Health Law
Providing care to patients with mental health issues is complicated. It
isn't always easy to know what is "right" and what is
"legal."
This manual discusses all laws governing mental health treatment and
privacy including the Lanterman-Petris-Short Act (LPS), the
Confidentiality of Medical Information Act (CMIA), the Health Insurance
Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) and other state and federal
laws.
